hang
- verb/0 When your terminal sits around doing nothing it is
hanging (or 'hung'). This can be caused by comms problems (you're
using the wrong terminal settings), game problems (the
interpreter just crashed and the FE hasn't realised it yet),
too many players (so your commands take ages to process) or by
executing a single command that takes a long time to process
(eg. issuing 'empty coracle' when it has 20 items in it will
take about the same time to interpret as 20 individual 'drop'
commands would). Very long lag
can look like a hang. Compare ghost.
